Roasted barley and chocolate are beautifully melded together in this delicious stout: it’s a deep, rich, aromatic, and satisfying ale with full body and fruity notes from the Sam Smith’s yeast strain supporting lush chocolate aroma and flavour. Organic Chocolate Stout is fermented in open- topped stone vessels, slate “Yorkshire Squares.” It’s USDA Certified Organic by the UK Soil Association and – like all Smith beers – it is Registered Vegan.
